David McCoy, right, of Junction City, Ore., shows off the 86.5-pound king salmon he caught on the Kenai River in Soldotna on July 26, 2006, with guide Danny Paulk, left, after the fish was weighed at the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Trophy catches are increasingly rare on the Kenai, and none have been recorded by ADFG in the last four years.
